The tray is made from recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (rPET) a clear, strong and lightweight plastic. It is recyclable through kerbside collection.
Moy Park’s said it would reduce the company’s plastic consumption by a further 50 tonnes and brings it one step closer to completing its transition to recyclable plastic trays.
Matt Harris, head of packaging at Moy Park said; “Sustainable packaging has an important role to play in containing, protecting and preserving our food, and this is an ideal solution; not only is it 100% recyclable, it’s created using recycled content and it also delivers a plastic weight reduction.”
Earlier this year, Moy Park said it had reduced its overall packaging by 10% in the past 12 months.
